Going to play Bethpage within a few weeks (my own family 'us open'). I'm tuning up the driver, and cutting out my slice. Tweaking the putter and ditching the yipes.

Has anyone use their car to get there? Any caveats? How is the parking?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, a lot of pressure. Rise above it. Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad.

There's plenty of parking. The difficulty is getting the tee time. You've got one?

Do you have a tee time? I think you mean the Black and if so tee times are not released for seven days prior to your day of play. I would make one if I were you otherwise you'll be sitting around for a while, esp. if your with a few people. As for parking there is plenty of that there.

Tee times on the black are notoriously hard to get. I live about 10 min from the course, and have yet to play there because it has turned into a circus. To many people with 30+ handicaps out there making every round into a 8 hour marathon.

Tee times are allowed to be made 7 days in advance and I believe the call in time is at 7pm. By 7:05 most or all of the times are gone. I have know people who went to the club house like 3 days and have been able to make a tee time by bribing the right people.

I would suggest trying the red if you cant get on the black. I know it isnt as glamorous. But it is still a great course. Or even try Eisenhower (spelling?) red, I believe they have tournaments there every year and it is another very nice course.

Your best bet as a out of stater is to get there at 5:00am and take what they got usually around 2:00 pm on a weekday as a single.If you want a 4some good luck you might get 4:00pm and will only get about 14 holes in.By the way it is Bethpage not Bathpage and the previous poster does not try hard enough because I live in Huntington and play the Black every month at the very least.I played it last Monday the 7th and it is set up for the NY open and it kicked my ass 90 and I thought I was playing fairly well.Make sure you call ahead to see it is open as they have Tourneys all summer long and will close it for a day.516-249-0700 and ask for operator and they will tell you.

Does anyone know if international players can register on the Bethpage reservation system? Any experiences on this board? I'm looking to play in september and I have a DL and social insurance number (SIN numbers in Canada, not social security numbers like in the US). I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Reservation system is only for NY residents. So you'll have to come here early.

    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?
    • https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
